Well, that is not good for them to be flagging Privazer

On Wilders @NoVirusThanks discussed in an OSArmor post why PrivaZer causes these kind of warnings.
They use system processes commonly abused by malware and ransomware:

I have only had the standard account for 2 days. When i see high cpu i end it in task manager and then start OSA protection again only to see it go...

You will see the same with PrivaZer and VoodooShield.
So, IMO the detection of AppCheck is correct and maybe you can set some exclusions for PrivaZer or find another tool to use.

can you clarify "you will see the same with PrivaZer and Voodooshield." I recently ran AppCheck for 10 weeks along with VS and AppCheck never alerted to VS. Or did I misunderstand your comment? Not currently running AppCheck, but it was light and well behaved for me.

I meant PrivaZer and VoodooShield. You get a lot of warnings the first time you run PrivaZer with VS installed.

i have not seen any blocks with appguard or voodooshield. i can't try appcheck because it refuses to run at all on my system in shadow mode. I will recheck with voodooshield again just to make sure.

I thought Shadow Defender was good but just too cumbersome for me, have not used it in several years.

And the BSOD you got running Eset, VS and AppCheck?

seemed like anomaly, although AppCheck support replied it WAS some issue on their end they were aware of and fixing. several days after the BSOD never happened again, or since that one, although uninstalled AppCheck. I liked it, it was light. I also tried Kaspersky anti-ransomware tool, aka KART, no issues other than it seemed a tad heavy. But I liked Kaspersky enough to install Kaspersky Standard AV (plan) on this VM. So far light and liking it.
